Roy Reid (a JA customs official) on the politics of national currencies, with a dub getaway to Ruritania — from The General double.

First time out for both sides, including dubs.

Ace, quirky one-away — effervescent singing on a bubbling rhythm, with ticking drums and deft keyboard interjections.

Rasta Cowboy excursion.

Late-eighties Callo Collins production of the Youth Promotion cohort.

Great early-eighties Channel 1 excursion on the same version of DEB’s Revolution rhythm as Barrington Levy’s Black Rose.

Pious sex-pol, on a tuff Billie Jean lick. ‘When you come home, a next man asleep in your pyjamas… and then you charge fi murder, Jah Jah know. The man them a worries but the woman them a problem.’

Heartfelt, blessed early-eighties Maxfield Avenue roots, in short supply from the off. Pressed from the original stamper, Digikiller-style: a few clicks at the start can’t test rudie.

An unnerving ride on Yabby You’s almighty Conquering Lion rhythm — a darkly atmospheric tale of pestilence and the dark arts, our kind of Christmas Carol. Crowning a great year for Digikiller, this is essential.

Stalag excursion.

His first run-out on the rhythm he later cut for Chopper — another Digikiller reissue.

Three chilled, heavy dubplates deployed by Junjo’s Volcano and Hyman Wright’s Jah Life soundsystems, back in the day, on John Holt’s Chanting rhythm.

On the Chopper version of Billie Jean.
